A Blog for Merriam Music

6th grade continued with script and lyric writing for our Musical "The O(z)DYSSEY". While working on writing, strength of TONE of singing and speaking voices was reinforced; while in Chorus, we shared our work in the three classes and played with how individuals can used their acting skills to BE a part for the program. We watched MANY characters come to life today while 6th graders traded how a particular role might be played with vocal and physical expression. We look to finish writing next week after which we will spend time in each of the three classes playing with staging ideas and giving as many students chances to play the roles in class as we can while teaching voice production and projection. So far, so good in our bringing this story to life!
